I grew up in Mt. Pleasant and even went to elementary school here. I moved out during college, and when I came back to the area, I noticed Martha Dear was new. I usually go upstairs to Mt. Desert for ice cream, but my sister and my mom’s friend encouraged me to try this spot.
When we arrived (around 5pm), there were open tables, but we were told we had to be finished by 7pm due to pending reservations which was completely fine. In total, we ordered four drinks, two pizzas, olives, and a Caesar salad.
The Caesar salad was excellent fresh and flavorful and the drinks were also very good. The olives were okay. The pizza, however, was a bit underwhelming compared to our expectations.
Unfortunately, the service was the key part of our experience. While other staff members were friendly, our server seemed noticeably hostile toward us. He bumped into my small tote three times and slammed items onto the table more than once without saying “excuse me” or apologizing. As dinner went on, his tone seemed increasingly frustrated. We ended up leaving around a bit past 6pm.
I really wanted to love this place since it’s a new addition to a neighborhood I care about, and I hope this was just an off night.

Loved our first time visiting. Nice neighborhood spot with very friendly service and delicious pizza. We tried the Concord grape, sausage, and kale pizza and the marinara so we could try a complex pie and a more simple one. Both were extremely flavorful. The Concord grape was definitely on the heavier (and delicious) side and the marinara was amazingly garlicky and lighter. You can really taste the sourdough in the crust! The dill dip on the side was a great choice as well. This is also probably our favorite Caesar salad we’ve had in DC. Would definitely come back.

Tonight wasn’t just dinner, it felt like a pilgrimage all to familiar. Every trip to DC we eat here.
We showed up a little early, before the doors opened, and got to watch the kind of quiet choreography that tells you a place takes its craft seriously. Fresh ingredients laid out with care. Stations wiped down until they shined. Someone even came outside to polish the windows, as if preparing a stage before the lights come up. You can’t teach that sort of devotion, it comes from pride.
Our reservation had been booked well in advance, and for good reason. Martha Dear is tiny, intimate, the sort of neighborhood spot where each plate feels personal.
We started with the Broccoli + Bagna Càuda, mini broccoli bathed in anchovy and butter, topped with a garlic crisp that hits like a soft crash of Mediterranean sea air and warmth. Simple ingredients, big soul.
Then the pizzas came out, each one a different hymn.
Halloumi, Spinach + Squash
Mozzarella, halloumi, spinach, garlic, squash purée, parmesan. A white pie that eats like autumn comfort wrapped in Greek sunshine. Silky, savory, and bright.
Pepperoni + Peppers
Tomato, mozzarella, onions, peppers, pepperoni, parmesan, basil. Their take on a classic, fiery, tangy, and honest. You taste the craft in every blister of the crust.
’Nduja + Cremini Crema
Mozzarella, cremini crema, ’nduja, mushroom, pickled Fresno, parmesan. Rich, smoky, spicy, earthy. We substituted red sauce base for crema. The kind of pie that lingers, the one you think about on the drive home and again the next morning.
Each dish felt like a conversation between Greece and the Mid-Atlantic, between technique and instinct, between comfort and curiosity. And every bite confirmed why people line up, why reservations vanish, and why locals call this a treasure in Mt. Pleasant.
Martha Dear isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a pilgrimage to flavor, lovingly tended by people who treat dough like an art form and service like a promise.
We’ll be back. And next time, we’re bringing more friends.

Was really excited to try this spot, I have followed on socials for a while and really loved what I saw, especially when it came to the creativity with the Mediterranean flavors and pizza. I have to say the pizza was SO good, and was the best part of the meal. Everything else generally though was just fine, nothing exciting or jazzy, but also didn’t really feel like the traditional comforting Greek flavors I was expecting.

Delicious pizzas! We were a group of 3 and shared an app and 2 pizzas which was the perfect amount of food. We started with the whipped feta which was delicious. We shared 2 pizzas; classic cheese and halloumi. Both were really good and well made. Service was quick, but we did feel a bit rushed to finish our dishes and quickly clear plates at times. Nothing major but it didn’t seem busy enough where someone was waiting for a table. Outside of that we had a great experience.

Truly the best pizza (white pie) in DC, and the house salad is really good. Also don’t sleep on the dessert. The pita bread w. Hummus was the best I ever had and I’m a hard critic. Lastly, the only thing that steered me wrong was the Feta Believe it, I don’t and would never drink feta brine

Jessica was so great and helpful! She made the experience. The food is delicious. I highly recommend and will be back. Happy hour from 5 to 6:30. Counter seating is comfortable because the chairs have backs.

Loved the sourdough pizza- the halloumi was amazing as was the classic. The place is pretty small and the service is great but make sure to have a reservation ahead of going since it can get pretty busy

Went there once, had to go back with my bf! Food was amazing, and seeing the pizza get made fresh in front of you was such an experience !! We were literally in awe of the bubbling pizza sauce and cheese, in AWE. The bar manager knew her wines, too! I told her what i typically go for and she made the correct suggestion, we ended up getting a bottle!!!

We enjoyed our meal here but are not rushing to go back! The lamb hummus was a bit odd. The lamb was almost like beef jerky texture and very very salt and sweet-just a bit over powering. It’s a teeny place so you kinda feel like you are in the way the whole time. Great drink, including mocktail menu, and solid pizza!
